🌽 Harvest Stag tickets are now available! 🌽

Tickets are $50 each. Join us for supper or grab takeout for the family!

🍽️ Can’t stay for the evening? Buying a takeout meal still supports the work our Optimist Club does throughout the year.

This event raises $20,000–$30,000 annually for community betterment, with all proceeds staying right here in the Brussels, Morris and Grey area.

With guys already into corn harvest, we’re hoping for a great turnout and a sellout this year!

🎟️ Get your tickets at McDonald Lumber or from any Optimist Club member.

Thanks for helping us give back to our community!

The Brussels Optimist Club was back in action last week, with 20 gents enjoying a great pork chop dinner as we kicked off another year of serving our community!

The club got off to a strong start by donating $1,000 to Blyth-Brussels Minor Hockey and $2,000 to Ronald McDonald House. The Ronald McDonald House donation represents the proceeds from the coffee station we operated at Breakfast on the Farm.

Tomorrow, we’ll be partnering with the Brussels Lions Club to conduct a road toll in support of the Terry Fox Run. Keep an eye out for us and help support a great cause!

A few of the Brussels Optimists had a great time meeting people and serving up coffee Saturday at Breakfast on the Farm!

A big thank you to Joe and Barb Terpstra and family for hosting such a great event.

We were happy to be part of the day, with proceeds supporting Ronald McDonald House Charities. Thanks to everyone who stopped by for a coffee! ☕

The Brussels Optimists would like to thank all those who helped make our 3rd Annual Classic Car Show on Saturday such a success. Thanks to all those who entered their vehicles, came as spectators, made donations and supported our BBQ. Thanks to our sponsors Pentastic Motors, Blake Farms, McDonald Home Hardware, Barry’s Service Centre, Brussels Transport, Radar Auto Parts, Orr Insurance, and Brussels Foodland. The staff from the BMGCC were a great help with cleaning up for the event.

The weather couldn’t have been better! It was nice to see so many from the community gathering together to catch up and share some memories. The smiles on the faces of the residents of Brussels Huronlea and the Highland Apartments during the drive-by made it even sweeter!! Thanks to Peter Jaycock for the excellent video. Check it out at Brussels TV. Hope to see everyone out again next year!!

Big weekend coming up in Brussels!

Our annual Brussels Optimist Car Show is happening this Saturday behind the arena.

President Kellington says the rain is getting itself out of the system today so we can enjoy a great weekend.

Your support is greatly appreciated. Even stopping by for a hamburger or hot dog for lunch helps, with proceeds going toward the Brussels Optimist Club’s local community projects and youth initiatives.

Then on Sunday, make sure you stop by the fire hall for the annual Father’s Day Firefighters’ Breakfast.

The Brussels Optimist Club is proud each year to support the firefighters by providing the use of our equipment for the breakfast, helping them continue the great work they do in our community.

Come out, grab a bite, check out some cars, support your local firefighters, and enjoy a great weekend in Brussels!

At last Monday’s meeting, the Brussels Optimist Club was pleased to donate $200 to the Brussels Library Branch in support of their Summer Reading Program.

The Club was also proud to donate $1,000 to BBMHA to help support youth hockey in our community and ensure more local kids have the opportunity to take part.

As Optimists, we are proud to be a “Friend of Youth” in Brussels, supporting programs and organizations that help local kids learn, play, grow, and stay involved in our community.

Thank you to the Brussels Library Branch and BBMHA for the important work you do for youth and families in our community.
